After more Americans have participated in their home-state primaries over the past weeks, the field of potential presidential candidates has dwindled. The current delegate count points to a likely faceoff between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee in November.

When Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Cincinnati, was asked his thoughts on the likely general election matchup, he said:

"I'm working hard to advance policies in Congress that Hillary Clinton would work hard to destroy. She will add regulations that hurt American workers, families, and businesses and I believe her foreign-policy will take us in the wrong direction as well and put Americans further at risk.

"Another major concern I have is that she will nominate Supreme Court justices who will extend that troubling legacy. I believe you will see the House of Representatives set forth a positive agenda for all Americans that I expect would be embraced by Donald Trump and voters."

Rep. Wenstrup is running for re-election in Ohio's Second Congressional District, which encompasses all or parts of eight counties – including Highland County – in southern and southwestern Ohio.

Rep. Wenstrup was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2012. In the 114th Congress, he serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, where he is the chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity.
